6 Awe-Inspiring, Isolated Micro-Shelters from Around the World

You may have noticed that we're big fans of tiny homes here at Inhabitat, so you can imagine our delight when we came across Cabin Porn's collection of little isolated shelters from all around the world. From the stone-clad Muir Hut in the California mountains to the mini ice-fishing shacks of Quebec, check out our roundup of our favorite small, sustainable shelters in the middle of nowhere.

Muir Trail Hut stands at 12,059 feet within California’s rocky peaks, and is one of the trail’s greatest landmarks. Built in 1930 by the Sierra Club of California, this humble-yet-strong shelter is built from local stone, and blends perfectly into the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Made by artist Dave Sinaguglia, this rustic shelter was created with slab wood off-cuts. Located in a beautiful pine forest near Hartford, Connecticut, this shelter is a great place to find solitude and inspiration.
